Abstract

Anywhere not calculating Labor hours automatically

Body

Recently I've received some complainings that filling Anywhere Labor Actuals Start Date/Time and End Date/Time doesn't calculate and update automatically the Hours field with the total hours.  That's because this is how it works on Maximo core but Anywhere required a different design, please find the differences below:

 

From Maximo Work Order Tracking:
If you Select Labor

And you enter START and END time

Regular Hours will be automatically updated reflecting total time

But Anywhere required a different design. If you enter START and END time, the HOURS field won't be automatically calculated and updated with total value

 

ENTERING START DATE AND TIME

END DATE AND TIME

HOURS field remains 0

This is per design. The correct way to work in Anywhere is to enter Start Date, Start Time and Hours then the End Date/End Time will be calculated automatically:
